Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation in NRENs |
Introduction
This survey has been sent through the GÉANT partner relations team to NRENs to be filled in by their senior network engineers. The responses provided should reflect the opinion of the NREN, not the personal views of the person filling in the survey.
The questions were coordinated by the Network Technologies and Services Development Work Package (WP6) of the GÉANT GN4-3 project. The team contact e-mail address is: gn4-3-wp6-wpls@lists.geant.org. Please complete this survey by April 17, 2019.
The survey was developed to complement the topics covered by the GÉANT NREN Compendium (see https://compendium.geant.org/).

The survey was developed to complement the topics covered by the GÉANT NREN Compendium (see https://compendium.geant.org/).
The purpose of this survey is to:
- learn about the strategy and actions of each NREN related to network and service orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV);
- explore if there are common use cases, ideas, needs and issues in the community in the areas of automation, orchestration and virtualisation;
- recognise possible areas of collaboration both amongst NRENs and between NRENs and GÉANT;
- determine and recommend possible future work within Work Package 6 (WP6) of the GÉANT GN4-3 project that could be of benefit to as many partners as possible for identified use case(s).
For all questions that have free-text boxes please feel free to provide any additional explanation and information that we did not explicitly ask and you find relevant, including any potential requirements or prerequisites related to your answer. There is also a free text box at the end of the survey for you to add any extra comments.
All the information provided will be analysed to determine potential future work items for WP6. A summary of the findings will be presented for information and discussion at the “GN4-3 Future Service Strategy Workshop” in Amsterdam on 9/10 May 2019.
We may also initiate further more specific investigations, e.g., focus groups or expert discussion groups, on certain topics based on the survey findings, or we may wish to follow up with specific respondents about specific answers they have given. Hence we have asked for the contact details of the person(s) in each NREN completing the survey.
